My heart just sank. I get so frustrated with the lack of understanding and perspective by our world leaders, especially moron*.

I ranted a bit and raved a bit, but at the end, I was filled with anxiety and sadness at the mess we have created, I crumbled into a helpless heap.

What really worries me is this: we pollute the most in the world, if we were to suddenly make a drastic cut in our emissions and our use of fossil fuels, that just leave more for China and India to use, they will take up the slack.

Bottom line is: we are fighting up hill. We can individually conserve and do what needs to be done, but unless something is done on a truly massive scale, the show is basically over.

The futility of human kind to work together for the common good is displayed each and every day a war continues.

If we as a world can't settle our differences, how on earth are we going to come together to solve the global warming issue?

I'm sorry, I'm just feeling very depressed about this right now.
